China’s huge industrial and manufacturing market supports a broad space for the development of industrial software. China has a 30 trillion level industrial and manufacturing market, accounting for 20% – 30% of the global share, and has maintained a compound growth rate of more than 10% in the past 15 years, which is higher than that of the whole world. However, in 2020, the scale of China’s industrial software market was only about 200 billion yuan, accounting for only 6.6% of the global proportion. The corresponding CAD / CAE markets were 4 billion yuan / 3.2 billion yuan respectively, which could not match China’s huge industrial manufacturing market. In the future, driven by the upgrading of manufacturing industry and supported by the national industrial software policy, China’s industrial software represented by CAD / CAE will usher in greater development opportunities. Our calculation results show that by 2035, China’s CAD market will be about 16 billion yuan, CAE market will be about 20 billion yuan and generalized PLM will be about 134 billion yuan.
